    Since 1945 is a mere 75 years. The Qing Empire in 1820, it's 25th year, had already grown to 13,700,000 km2 and 450,000,000 people. All without airplanes, a modern Navy and 50 years before their first railroad. If hegemony was our world plan since WWII then we aren't very good at it.

    And eventually they'll be right. What they don't get is that there won't be any I told you so's.

    I'm thinking you might consider returning to your old schtick of Guns and CO2 while you work on your new routine.
  4. JoeWeber
    There is quite a bit of history still to come.

    Even if I agreed with your point, and I don't owing mostly due to the relative lack of homogeneity and cohesiveness in our society, the Han still have us beat by thousands of years.
  6. JoeWeber
    Finally you make a point we can all agree with.

    Then why not change the thread title to: Righties and Cockups? Well, we know why don't we?

    The one on the left definitely is displaying a pair. Boobs, Bibles and Brownings. Dance around it all you like, and SC is no exception, but it is Jesus that is behind Trump and where we are in America today. Were it not for evangelicals there would never have been Trump or an entrenched, power mad GOP. If you want a better, more educated future then you are in favor on eliminating local school boards. We need a national standard. Yes, a Betsey DeVos is always a possibility but we don't need to give the next one fertile ground.

    Just written in a way that resonates with you. It was really same, same.

    So at least he watches old TED Talks. You probably didn't think about it because he's a military hero but his entire self serving screed is, well, an entire self serving screed.

    Biden is not yet President, Black Lives still matter, smart cars aren't dumb (like Hummers, for example) and you live near a university. Only item one gives me pause.

    Without any doubt, that is exactly what the founders had in mind when they drafted the second amendment.
  13. JoeWeber
    You can make your own AR and have a supply of liberated 30 round magazines from the army. And you need the second amendment, why?
  14. JoeWeber
    Right. What are you now, 80? Not to worry.

    Having an issue with it or not is entirely irrelevant. Relevant is that the Chinese will not fail their hegemonistic goal as we did. They are done being second. The thing about the Han Chinese is that at their very core they believe they should rule the world. Not in concert but they. Right now they are holding all aces. They have the population numbers, they have the economy, they have a weakened Russia, they have a weakened western world thanks to Trump, and they have a world asian population of 4.5 Billion out of 7.2 Billion to cater to. We can enjoy our time in the sun but in 1000 years every last human alive will have a Chinese name. That's just reality.

    Wendy, Outside of the US the Chinese are broadening their base with contracts. I have seen many examples with my own eyes. On the ground where it is happening I make inquiries with locals and ask questions. The Chinese build cities no one will live in to invigorate their economy. For them, these overseas projects are a no brainer. They get a foothold in another nation, they employ Chinese there, and at home where the equipment is built, and they never intend to leave. Think of it like Ron's electoral map except not of Georgia but of the world. All of the red is where the Chinese are doling out cash and gaining presence. They have already won and they know it.
  17. JoeWeber
    Based. In. China. Your issue is that these Chinese outnumbered xenophobes .00013 to 1.
  18. JoeWeber
    You mean like over cooking the Kung Pao Chicken? The horrors! F'n unbelievable that in a nation where free speech is at the top of our rights, and every last other person who is here for any reason, that visitors to our nation should feel free to celebrate their nation in support of a true international sporting event like the Olympics. Thanks for the valuable insight.
  19. JoeWeber
    We'll always be able to sleep easily with our views. The truth is that be it Guns, Climate Change, Trump, or just fill in the blank, the right has shown in spades that they really don't truly believe in anything except power and getting what they want at anyones expense-and right f'n now! No facts, no history, no empathy, no nothing moves them. They won't be bothered by their conscious or anything liberals say. Getting theirs in anyway they can is their view of the natural order. Maybe they are right. I just simply refuse to see it that way.

    A house, by the way, that has 6 shitters. Vile, awful, selfish, entitled, and on and on and on. These are also people that airdvr, Bill and others voted to stay in power. Never forget.
  21. JoeWeber
    Quite awhile?

    An unregulated ponzi scheme, being unnecessary to the dupes who funded it, the right of the people to tithe to their God, shall not be infringed.
  23. JoeWeber
    Phil, Thanks. Now please go get proof those new congress critters gave tours insurrectionists.
  24. JoeWeber
    With me zero. Seriously, I'm not sure that needed to be written. Those who don't know it already won't get it.
  25. JoeWeber
    You mean like those robber baron Chinese railway workers? Seriously, what are you talking about?
